The Sony Xperia ZR Boasts of Impressive Battery Life



The Sony Xperia ZR posted some impressive results in GSM Arena's battery life test. Trimming the field to locally relevant phones, this is how the Xperia ZR fared:

Talk Time

Sony Xperia SP - 19 hours 49 minutes
Samsung Galaxy S 4 - 18 hours and 3 minutes
Sony Xperia ZR - 17 hours 48 minutes

Sony Xperia Z - 16 hours and 3 minutes
LG Optimus G - 15 hours and 30 minutes
HTC One - 13 hours and 38 minutes
Apple iPhone 5 - 8 hours and 42 minutes
BlackBerry Z10 - 8 hours and 20 minutes

Given that screen size has no effect on this test, it is surprising that the Xperia ZR does so much better than the Xperia Z.


Web Browsing (Over Wifi)

Sony Xperia ZR - 11 hours and 20 minutes

HTC One - 9 hours 58 minutes
Apple iPhone 5 - 9 hours and 56 minutes
Samsung Galaxy S 4 - 7 hours and 24 minutes
BlackBerry Z10 - 6 hours and 27 minutes
Sony Xperia Z - 6 hours and  27 minutes
Sony Xperia SP - 6 hours and 18 minutes
LG Optimus G - 5 hours and 15 minutes

With a smaller lower resolution display, the Xperia Z tops the list. Notably it does better than the Xperia SP which has a large battery and similar display.


Video Playback

Samsung Galaxy S 4 - 12 hours and 30 minutes
Apple iPhone 5 - 10 hours and 12 minutes
HTC One - 10 hours and 2 minutes
BlackBerry Z10 - 8 hours and 44 minutes
LG Optimus G - 7 hours and 30 minutes
Sony Xperia ZR - 7 hours and 30 minutes


Sony Xperia SP - 7 hours and 27 minutes
Sony Xperia Z - 5 hours and 39 minutes

The video playback tests are decent enough, but nothing spectacular. None of the Xperia has great battery life on video playback.


Standby (with 1 hour of calls, video playback and web browsing per day)

Samsung Galaxy S 4  - 69 hours
Sony Xperia ZR - 62 hours

Apple iPhone 5 - 51 hours
Sony Xperia SP - 51 hours
HTC One - 48 hours
Sony Xperia Z - 48 hours
BlackBerry Z10 - 46 hours
LG Optimus G - 45 hours

Overall, the Xperia ZR does rather well. Falling just behind the Samsng Galaxy S4.
